Flack has always been a cool and collected type of guy who is not afraid to pull his trademark poker face whenever he doesn't want to show emotions in public, but when it comes to Danny Messer all the masquerades fall apart.

He'd known for a long time what he feels towards Danny, from the moment they met he knew there was something about that cocky italian with a stunning smile that makes his heart flutter; as time went by those feelings grew parallel to their friendship.

One day Flack was going to tell Danny everything about his feelings for him but a bomb almost kills him, he couldn't help but feel sad when he woke up at the hospital and saw Mac instead of Danny by his side on that hospital bed, he wondered where Danny was but he soon found out via Stella that he was with Montana at the moment.

Flack's recover went well and quickly he went back to work, everything seemed normal again and even his friendship with Danny was back to normal, he saw that his beloved Danny was getting closer to that damn Lindsay and he couldn't help feeling jealousy towards her and he even thought on how many ways he could kill her and make the perfect crime, after all, he'd seen that a lot on the crime scenes he'd worked with the crime lab throughout the years; but he came to the conclusion that Danny didn't love him the way he wanted because he didn't know about Flack feelings at all, so he started to have a love life on his own and that's how he end up with fellow detective Jessica Angell. She was a nice girl and damn good at her job so it wasn't hard for him to love her once he discovered that she loved him too.

Finally Flack felt himself complete because he had someone by his side who loves him back but his feelings for Danny never disappeared completely, that was confirmed one day he went to the lab to pick up some ballistic results and heard about Lindsay's pregnancy with Danny's baby, he suddenly felt his heart break at the shocking news...
